Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference – Robert Frost

The road less travelled can sometimes be a lonely journey, An uncomfortable journey, One with sacrifice and discipline… But when you how that road has changed you, What you become from taking the route less travelled…

You will know it was worth it

‘Listen, smile, agree, and then do whatever the fuck you were doing to do anyway.’ – Robert Downey Jr

When you tell people what you plan on doing whether it’s going on a diet or starting a new business venture, There will always be people who will try and talk you out of it…

A lot of the time they generally tend to be the people closest to us

Steven Pressfield describes Friends and family as the enemy in a series of his books*

‘Friends and Family are invested in maintaining us as we are… & That’s the last thing we want… Is to remain as we are’

He then goes on to say this is because they don’t like it when you are overcoming your inner Resistance (Procrastination, Fear) and are doing something they can’t or won’t, So they want us to remain the same so they don’t feel bad for doing so…

Other times they just don’t fully understand what it is that we are doing and they have our best interest at heart

Either way, they can’t help it – Thank them for their advise then crack on and do it anyway.

‘Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.’ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Can we take a second to appreciate how cool of a name “Johann Wolfgang von Goethe” is..

If you don’t believe in yourself – who will?

If you don’t believe you can make a difference in the world – then you won’t

If you don’t believe you can turn your health and fitness around then you won’t

If you don’t believe that idea in your head will make you a million then you’ll have to watch someone else create it…

However that moment when you start to believe in yourself, It feels like you have just ran through a train platform and entered a world full of magic…

You turn what was once a vision inside your head and create it in the real world…
